Haunted by Roberto Rossellini’s Voyage to Italy since boyhood, a filmmaker heads to Naples. Far from a remake and a step beyond cinephilia, another film gradually emerges, penetrated by the flow of hybrid images from the net, punctuated by artistic doubts, stray memories, songs, and ghosts. Dieutre’s film brings the couple from Voyage to Italy into an entirely different Italy, that of After- History. It remains to be seen what survives–of the couple, of Naples, of tourism and social relations–once everything has been recycled, remixed, sampled, and swept away by the wind.

The First Nudes

The First Nudes

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
